Highest court strikes down psychic Noreen Renier

Positioned immediately under the U.S. Supreme Court the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 ruled against Noreen Jean Renier, a woman who poses as a credible psychic detective and has falsely claimed to have been directly hired by public law enforcement agencies across “hundreds” of cases which upon investigation never existed as she claims.

This is now the fifth and highest level federal judgment from four different federal courts ruling against Noreen Renier since 2006 --- including two in 2011.

Noreen Renier is a professional actress whose paranormal claims have been called “bold exaggerations” by both critics and eye-witnesses to events.

Today the court noted “Having had the benefit of oral argument, and having carefully reviewed the briefs, record, and controlling legal authorities, we agree with the district court’s analysis as set forth in it’s well-reasoned opinion.”

That July 2011 U.S. District Court ruling backed a federal court judgment against Noreen Renier ordered in March 2011 where federal judge William Anderson slammed Noreen Renier in an 18-page order and cited her for having mislead his court and not being a credible witness.

This April 2012 ruling comes after psychic actress Noreen Renier told a Virginia reporter in 2006 that she foresaw a federal win by herself. However this now marks instead an uninterrupted string of federal court judgments against her over the past decade.

Noreen Renier’s Charlottesville Virginia attorney Dale Jensen (of the Zobrist Law Group) filed a massive 69-page appeals brief but apparently badly missed the mark as a more concise 9-page brief offered by Renier’s critic won --- myself.

Indeed one lawsuit observer noted Noreen Renier's latest filings resembled work that could have come from a poor performing first-year law student. The briefs seemed arrogant and made wandering rants and snipes at lower court decisions against Renier. "Her lengthy briefs --- the last two totaling more than 110 pages ---wandered so far off-course they weren’t in the weeds but off the planet. She offered little beyond saying everyone is wrong but her."

Incredibly many within the international paranormal community continue to cite Noreen Renier as a highly “credible psychic detective” and “clear evidence that psychic detectives can be believed.” Yet given this latest U.S. federal court judgment affirming the decision once again that Noreen Renier mislead a federal court and was not credible the paranormal community needs help. But as they continue to cite Noreen Renier at the top of “the most credible” list its apparent their icons and proofs have crumbled.

And court after court is turning even their crumbs to powder.

awesome, well done
now which court do you have to get her to which will give her jail time ?
;)
 
Can I ask how you first became involved with Renier? It's just that I don't think I've ever seen you post on any other subject, and she's obviously taken up a lot of your personal time for many years. I'm just curious as to why her, particularly given that I'd never even have heard of her, were it not for you.
 
Is there a link to the court decision somewhere?

Or an online newspaper article yet?
 
Noreen Renier psychic detective charades, court decisions

Noreen Renier is just one of more than a dozen psychic detectives I've tackled over the past three decades.

I've worked extensively with local television stations and national media in exposing many psychic detectives and their claims, including most recently Laurie McQuary. I've spent a great deal of time on Noreen Renier after she fabricated various events in her testimony before a jury in 1986 when she cited me for libel.

Background on Renier's original psychic visionary fabrications during that small southern Oregon county case kept me active in making sure her charade was well known and my initial concerns about her vindicated. Amazingly she replicated much of the same charade of finding a crashed aircraft with survivors in February 2012 before an audience at the Bill Clinton School of Public Service --- and a breakdown on that continued charade is posted at http://www.gpinquirygroup.com/gpinquirygroup/Clinton%20School.html with a full report on her associated bogus claims in finding the missing plane with one or more survivors at http://www.commentarybysherlock.com/commentarybysherlock/runwaypart1.asp and an index to multiple bogus claims and charades at http://www.gpinquirygroup.com/gpinquirygroup/IndepthRenier.html

Yesterday's decision by the court (April 18, 2012) is posted at http://pacer.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinion.pdf/111906.U.pdf
in a very short decision. One far shorter than the 79-page brief filed by Noreen Renier asking for a decision in her favor based on dozens of actions and counteractions. Remember this extensive battle is based on Renier's efforts to reverse the required payments the court issued to me after a U.S. District court in 2007 awarded me more than $41,000.00 (after interest) for her breach of a Florida State settlement agreement. That breach was made when she published a book (A Mind For Murder) which more than 50 times characterized me (and also mentioned fellow skeptic Dr. Gary Posner, M.D.) in various ways which the court found "[showed] that it is impossible that Ms. Renier breached the agreement in this case without some level of fault. She knew or should have known of the agreement, and breached it nonetheless." My complete commentary on Renier is posted at http://www.commentarybysherlock.com/commentarybysherlock/newindexforsherlockapril.asp

Lots of available readings for anyone interested in uncovering portions of what is simply the most massive psychic charade I've ever uncovered.

Thanks for fighting the good fight Sherlock.

When you are up against a monomaniac it is impossible for her to "lose". Renier will continue to believe in herself and her abilities even if the entire population of the planet was convinced otherwise. :(




 
Thanks for the update. I certainly do recall reading about that case along with you and Dr. Posner quite extensively, and happy that after this long time the court is again in your favor.
Keep up the good work!
 
Psychic Noreen Renier self implodes

I appreciate all the supportive thanks. More powerful than ever? Nope.

In the past 48 hours there's been only silence by her regular band of supporters. Instead it's a combination of apparent shock with many perhaps recognizing they've stayed aboard a sinking ship far too long. That's not surprising as Renier has repeatedly pushed a facade of winning alongside a grand vision of a federal court victory. It's also possible that donations she solicited in the past for her legal support are now considered as fruitless.

Last night her multiple Facebook pages were cleansed of any and all recent feedback. Was the shock and awe removed in an attempt to ignore the break in the dam? It's as if nothing has happened.

The icy cold reality of having six federal court judges rule against her across four ever higher courts is likely hitting home. In the past two years she has claimed that skeptics are "out to destroy me" and are "destroying my life's work."

Nope. Instead her exaggerations and delusions of being a paranormal Wonder Woman hired by law enforcement agencies across hundreds of cases have simply been revealed. She has destroyed herself.

In fairness, she's not lying. I mean a bank robber could honestly say the same thing about the police. :D
 
I do not understand. The court ruling seemed to refer to some kind of bankruptcy matter. What does any of it have to do with her psychic claims?
 
Great job and congratulations! This puts you in the "hero" category, I think.
